The night passed.
Early the next morning, Usopp took Jim Jaya to a neighboring town to purchase supplies.
Near noon, they returned to the coastline with a large amount of navigation supplies.
After purchasing the supplies, it was time to set sail.
Mod took out the money bag prepared in advance from the cabin, jumped off the ship and came to Usopp.
On the boat, Lafayette and the others stood on the side of the boat, looking at Maude and Usopp.
"Take it."
Mod handed the bag containing ten million beli to Usopp.
"What's this?"
Usopp took the money bag and opened it, his eyes almost popped out of his head.
He had never seen so much money in his life.
Mod patted Usopp on the shoulder.
"Usopp, if you want to become powerful quickly, you can't just rely on hard training. You can keep this money to buy meat to eat every day. Remember, whether you are training or getting nutrients, you can't stop every day."
"Maud..."
Usopp had tears in his eyes.
"And this, you wear it."
Mod used [Usopp's] tricks.
The drop-shaped mechanism was strung together with a rope and turned into a special necklace.
Usopp took the machine necklace and pursed his lips in silence.
Maude smiled and said: "The flintlock gun carrying this movement is Jesus Bu's first old gun, and it is also the gun he gave me. To me, this movement has extraordinary significance, and to you The same is true for words.”
"Maud, I..."
"Take it, think of it as the amulet your father prepared for you."
Mod smiled and looked at Usopp who was crying.
"We should go, take care of yourself."
"Um."
Usopp nodded heavily, letting tears fall down his face.
Mod patted Usopp's shoulder again, then turned around and headed for the mast ship.
Usopp looked at Mod's back silently.
"Maud!"
"Um?"
Mod stopped in front of the mast ship and looked back at Usopp.
Usopp sniffed and said nervously: "Can I call you master?"
"Haha, of course no problem."
Maude jumped onto the mast ship, and Lafayette, who was well prepared, directly lowered the adjusted sail.
call!
The sails were inflated, and the mast ship sailed away from the shore towards the open sea.
"master!"
"Bon Voyage!"
Usopp stood on the shore and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Mod waved her hand at Usopp.
The mast ship goes away.
Usopp wiped the tears and snot from his face and subconsciously clenched his fists.
After he becomes strong enough, he will also go to sea!
... ... ... ... ... .
The mast boat rides the wind and waves.
Lafayette kept an eye on the course while Jim stayed at the wheel.
Maud was sitting on a chair basking in the sun, and Jaya was reading a book beside her.
"Is Usopp a relative of yours?"
Jia Ya closed the book she had just finished reading. Perhaps out of boredom, she suddenly asked this question.
Maude took a sip of the iced lemonade and said, "No."
"oh."
Jaya was a little confused.
Mod glanced at her and explained, "Usopp's father is kind to me."
Jaya nodded.
"By the way, I have learned a footwork called Silent Step during this period. If you are interested, I can teach you."
Maude put down her ice-cold lemonade and walked out onto the open deck.
His words attracted everyone's attention.
"Watch, I'll demonstrate it to you."
After saying that, Maud stood on tiptoes, used the silent step in an instant, and her figure immediately disappeared on the spot.
Lafayette, Jaya, Jim, and Bailey looked at Maud in surprise as he disappeared.
The next second, Mod, who was not under control properly, appeared on the sea two meters away from the ship.
Plop.
Maud fell into the sea.
“(⊙o⊙)…”x4.
After a short silence.
Jia Ya suddenly stood up.
Lafayette immediately rushed towards the side of the ship.
Bailey was unmoved and even stuffed a handful of snacks into his mouth.
Jim was closest to the surface and jumped directly into the sea.
Jim came over from the butterfly stroke and gave Maud a splash.
"Jim, I can swim."
Maude wiped the water from her face.
Jim nodded, but hoisted Maud onto his shoulders and swam to the mast ship.
... ... ... ...
Ten days later.
Rogue Town.
A warship came from afar and was anchored in the pier.
Peach Rabbit walked across the gangplank and came to the pier.
In front of her, a group of marines led by Smoker lined up to greet her.
Smoker looked at Peach Rabbit, who was recently promoted to lieutenant general, and thought that the headquarters attached great importance to Bacardi Mod.
However, Peach Rabbit will come here specifically, and Aoki Pheasant will also help.
"Do you think I will lose to Bacardi Mod?"
Smoker thought silently.
The sloppy look of Aoki Pheasant appeared in his mind.
... ... ..
at the same time.
Maude and his party have crossed the Upside Down Mountain.
Chapter 32 Group name X flag X route
The current heading towards the top of the Upside Down Mountain is very fast, and it is also the first challenge for the pirates before entering the Great Channel.
At this entrance, more than half of the pirate groups and ships are buried here every year.
To resist the turbulent upward current, the importance of the helmsman is self-evident.
Jim is the helmsman of the ship. Before boarding the ship, he had never been exposed to any information related to the helmsman.
But it only took him a month to master the job.
What he relies on is his strength and foundation.
Even so, it was thrilling to cross the Upside Down Mountain.
When the mast ship successfully climbed over, Maude breathed a sigh of relief.
If the boat capsized, he and Lafayette could keep everyone safe, but the large number of Baileys on board would be ruined.
That was the money they planned to use to buy a good ship.
Fortunately everything went well.
The mast boat rushed toward the lower sea along the downward current, and the strong wind carried bursts of water splashing behind it.
"After here, it's the Great Channel..."
Facing the cold wind blowing in her face, Maude silently looked at the calm sea in the distance.
The most beautiful things that can be pursued in the world are all in the great ocean ahead that surrounds the world.
As long as you move towards heights step by step, money, women, rights, strength...
Anything you want will be at your fingertips.
What Maud wants most is the strength to stand tall and not fall down.
Only with enough strength can one be like the towering red earth continent behind him, unshakable by any external object.
Maud stared ahead.
So does everyone else.
"The first step towards the top."
“Yummy stuff!”
"Destroy everything that is high above."
“Countless top quality ingredients…”
Following the downward current, the mast boat successfully crossed the channel and arrived at the exit of Twin Capes.
This place is located at the end of the ocean current channel. On the headlands on the left and right sides, there is a lighthouse building with the same appearance.
That's why it's called Twin Capes.
However, the lighthouse does not actually mean much here.
On the rocky ground below one of the lighthouses is a small round table and sun loungers.
An old man wearing glasses and a floral shirt sat on a sun lounger with his eyes closed and fell asleep. There was a glass of cold water and a folded newspaper on the round table beside him.
The old man's name is Kurokas. He was once the ship's doctor of the Roger Pirates, but his current identity is the lighthouse keeper of Twin Capes.
